Communication between developers and gamers isn't always as simple as a one-on-one chat. The devs have an enormous microphone that gamers can't help but hear, but they also have everything they say scrutinized and analyzed past the point of helpfulness.

Perhaps LG thinks life could be better than good for the company if more developers create apps for its smartphones and tablets.
